Is a common type of milkweed seen in most dry parts of India. Most locals do not remove this plant as the flowers are offered to gods Shiva and Ganesha. Some butterfly species prefer to lay their eggs on this plant. Seed dispersal is through air and one can sometimes see the seeds being carried around in gentle breeze.

It is Calotropis procera, also known as the Apple of Sodom, (King’s crown, rubber bush, or rubber tree). The milky sap contains a complex mix of chemicals, some of which are steroidal heart poisons known as “cardiac aglycones”. The fruit is described by the Roman Jewish historian Josephus, who saw it growing near Sodom: “…as well as the ashes growing in their fruits; which fruits have a color as if they were fit to be eaten, but if you pluck them with your hands, they dissolve into smoke and ashes.”
